40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 30
TALK: “Personal Peace in Challenging Times" by Elder Quentin L. Cook
JESUS CHRIST:
“I testify and provide my personal apostolic witness that Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, leads and guides His restored Church. His life and atoning mission are the true source of peace. He is the Prince of Peace. I bear my sure and solemn witness that He lives.”
-Quentin L. Cook
SCRIPTURE:
“And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.“ – Mark 1:41
“And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.” -3 Nephi 17:6
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“One of the most cherished titles of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is “Prince of Peace.” Ultimately His kingdom will be established including peace and love….Peace in the world is not promised or assured until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”
-Quentin L. Cook
INVITATION TO ACT:
How to “find peace in this world?”
1. Love God, Live His Commandments, and Forgive Everyone
2. Seek the Fruits of the Spirit
3. Exercise Agency to Choose Righteousness
4. Build Zion in Our Hearts and Homes
5. Follow the Current Admonitions of Our Prophet
-Quentin L. Cook
PROMISED BLESSING:
“Personal peace can be achieved despite the anger, contention, and division that blight and corrupt our world today. It has never been more important to seek personal peace. …’When there’s no peace on earth, there is peace in Christ.’ (“Peace in Christ” by Nick Day)…peace is anchored in the life and mission of Jesus Christ.”
-Quentin L. Cook
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How is Jesus Christ my personal Prince of Peace?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
MUSIC LEARNERS: Listen to the song “Peace in Christ” several times. Ponder your favorite phrases. Memorize the words to recall in time of need.
MY THOUGHTS:
What a wonderful reminder that we can have peace in our mind and heart even when the world is in turmoil. I have loved the song, “Peace in Christ” by Nick Day from the first time I listened to it. It brings peace to my heart and gives me strength during difficult times. So grateful that I can have personal peace, that is not contingent on other people or different circumstances. Peace is a choice I choose daily.
